The Free McDonald's Mystery Pie

On Monday, January 19th, my daughter and I made a quick run to McDonald's to get some lunch. There was a sign on the drive thru menu that said "Free Holiday Pie with each order of a McCafe drink." I was getting my wife a McSmoothie (made with McPineapple and McMango) so what the hell, we got a free pie.

But what KIND of pie was it?

Well, that was kind of a mystery. Or a McMystery, if you will.

David: Look what we got at McDonald's!Andrea: What is it? Miranda: It's a free pie!Andrea: What kind of pie is it?Miranda: It's a baked pie! Andrea: I mean, what type of pie?David: It's a baked pie. It's right there on the box!Andrea: I mean, what's IN the pie?Miranda: Er, flavor?Andrea: What kind of flavor?David: Flavor...flavored?Miranda: Whatever it is, it's bursting with it.David: Also baked with love. Andrea: But what KIND of pie is it?Miranda and David: BAKED PIE!Andrea (sigh): I just wanted to know what's in the pie!Miranda: Flavor and love, Mom. Andrea: I give up.

In case you're wondering what was really inside the pie, it was custard.

What kind of custard?

Er, custard flavored custard?

You all be good to one another. And may your days be filled with flavor and baked with love.
